This is a not-to-be-missed piece in the New York Times, from yesterday: a piece on Augusta National. You know, the place the New York Times used to crusade against. It’s taunting of the NYT in the NYT:

At cocktail parties around Greenwood, S.C., where the Augusta National chairman, William Johnson, grew up, Bill Stevens sometimes poses a question for the table.
Does anyone believe Augusta’s all-men’s membership should admit a woman?
Stevens, the president of Capital Bank in Greenwood and a friend of Johnson’s for more than 40 years, says he asks the question mostly for kicks.
“I do my own private survey on it,” Stevens said in a telephone interview Monday. “It’s pretty lopsided. Nobody even cares about the subject. In my unscientific survey, I found one person who didn’t agree with the club.”
He added, “I even sought out the most liberal-minded people I could find.”
